who's responsible?

[Susan Kline]

"Who's responsible?"

[It's the _wrong question._]

The question you should be asking yourself is what to do about it?

"Stuff" happens. To my mind, there's only one goal worth pursuing
afterwards -- to get past it.

The best way to get past it is to fess up (if applicable) and make
it right, whether or not you are out of pocket. The sooner you
turn it to a "no-fault" situation, the better off everybody will be.
The real cost of one of these boggles is psychological. You natter
away trying to excuse yourself and convince other people that you
are right. This takes a lot of time and effort and isn't a comfortable
situation to be in. Forgive yourself for not being perfect; forgive
them for not doing the right thing. Fix whatever went wrong.
And forget it.
